VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ZenaTech, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZENA) (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) ("ZenaTech"
, a technology business solution provider specializing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) drone, Drone as a Service (DaaS), enterprise SaaS and Quantum Computing solutions, announces that its Drone as a Service segment accounted for 82% of Q3 2025 revenue, generating $3.57 million of the record $4.35 million for the quarter. This builds on a 60% Drone as a Service contribution in Q2 2025 as the company strengthens revenue concentration in the drone services segment from the software services segment. The Company continues to expand its current global DaaS footprint of 11 US acquisitions and two international company-owned locations, with a goal to have acquired a total of 25 new companies by mid-2026 to lead drone-powered surveying, mapping, inspections, power washing and precision agriculture.
“Drone as a Service is one of the key growth areas of our business moving forward,” said CEO Dr. Shaun Passley. “Our targeted expansion in land surveying and geospatial sectors reflects our strategy to bring advanced aerial intelligence, speed and cost efficiencies to industries and tasks overdue for innovation. We have a strong pipeline of international acquisition opportunities to integrate with our drones across sectors and are focused on building a global, branded tech-driven services platform that creates both customer and shareholder value.”
ZenaTech focuses on industries where there are processes ripe for drone automation—such as surveying, construction, renewable energy, infrastructure, utilities, maintenance, cleaning, and agriculture—that still rely on low tech or manual methods for tasks. The DaaS platform offers services for real-time insights and efficiency without upfront drone ownership costs and is positioned to capture growing market share as drone adoption accelerates.
The fragmented land surveying industry in the US is dominated by aging, privately owned small firms constrained by a lengthy surveyor qualification and registration process, and using legacy technology making them ripe for consolidation. Using drone-enabled mapping and AI analytics, ZenaTech aims to deliver faster, more cost-effective and insight-rich 3D surveying services, while scaling recurring revenue with repeat customers in construction, building and government sectors.
ZenaTech’s disciplined roll-up strategy targets established regional providers ready for drone innovation. With ample acquisition prospects, the Company expects steady growth through 2026 as it expands across the US and internationally.
According to Research and Markets, the global market for Surveying and Mapping Services was valued at US$41.5 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach US$53.1 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.2% from 2024 to 2030. Surveying and mapping services are essential components in a variety of industries, providing critical data for construction, land development, environmental monitoring, and resource management. These services encompass a range of activities including land surveying, topographic mapping, geospatial data collection, and the creation of detailed maps and plans. Modern surveying and mapping utilize advanced technologies such as GPS, LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), aerial and satellite imagery, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). These tools enhance the accuracy, efficiency, and scope of surveying tasks, allowing for precise measurements and detailed representations of the physical world
